Abstract
1. Aconitine is widely used to produce ventricular arrhythmias in anaesthetized rats. The present work was designed to test the hypothesis that anaesthesia may increase the susceptibility of ventricular arrhythmia to aconitine due to the inhibition of arterial baroreflex. In addition, the susceptibility of ventricular arrhythmia to aconitine at different times during the course of a whole day was also investigated.
